    Wheel beauty rings for steelies?

    Does anybody have a good suggestion on where to get some 14 inch beauty rings? I've got some steelies off an 89 that are currently on my 81, but for the life of me, I can't figure out where to get even aftermarket trim rings for the wheels. All the auto parts stores seem to stock them for 15 inch wheels no problem. But nobody has 14s. I find some places online that have 14 inch beauty rings, but they say things like "FITS RWD" or they're for hot rods. And they have different depth measurements, I'm not even sure how they measure the depth on them so I know if they'll really fit. If I could get some OEM ones, that would be rad, but I can't find those anywhere either. Been to a bunch of wrecking yards. So I'll settle for whatever I can get!

    Here's a pic of what I'm looking for, except I need 14s.



    Thanks!

    I have to look I think I threw out my box, they were hard to find, they make lots of 14s but most are for american cars with a deep wheel lip, you need a 14 with a shallow lip

    mine are 1 1/2 deep, I have geo prism steelies, but they are pretty much identical to Honda steelies, you need the shallow ones they should be on ebay

    I bought some in 14" from an E30 BMW, stainless steel with a rather flat outer face (not as nice as Honda's 13") which seem to fit 14" '89 integra steel wheels I have.

    Yeah, it's strange how spendy they are. I bought some 15s at O'Reilly and I got all 4 for like $35. They are nice pieces too. Just amazing that 15 is the smallest I can find locally.
